Well, we've just lost our 4th ranked eAustralia player.
In the last 24 hours, Wingfield resigned as Party President of the Green and Gold Party and has left the country, accepting citizenship in the country he started out, the eUSA.
Right to the very end he was the subject of personal trolling attacks.
I find it ironic that while Ranger Bob is calling on senate and all eAustralians to welcome new players, he turns a blind eye to those in Cabinet who quite frankly trolled and bullied a player out of the country.
Yes it can be said that Wingfield might have said some dumb things in articles, but let's be honest, most, if not all of us, would have posted things like that if we were subjected to the flaming he was.

On the forums, I noticed this comment in a post by Sir_c0nstant...
What Wingfield, Icetek and others say is true regarding IRC, forums, these are not FUN and welcoming places if you do not follow the 'crowd'
That is why there is a ground swell of consistant votes for mr crocodile, GnG, Wingfield or against those that want people to conform, and until you realise that and change your outlook on others then there will never be a united country.
It's fair to say in the past I haven't been SC's biggest supporter, but over the last week we've been emailing each other about things since the 'PTO' announcement and we were both disgusted.
We agreed that the people causing harm just couldn't see it. They were in their own world blind to the harm they were doing our own community.
In fact, for those old enough, we had done this all before.

Paul Hamon was Party President of the PAPP, an up and coming party.
He was elected to senate and at the same time had created an ad for his party. For n00bs, years ago in eRepublik there was ads down the left hand side promoting parties, candidates and newspapers.
Paul created an ad that would automatically sing up someone as a member of his party if they clicked it. At the time he didn't know it was against the rules until alerted. He contacted admin and apologised.
However, in senate a witch hunt began. Despite him admitting an honest mistake and eRepublik admin not penalising him, players asked for him to be banned for a number of days.
Instead, Paul took his bat and ball and left. He would continue to play out the game, outside of the forums, and still run a successful party.
Paul helped many players and to be honest would have been great in someone's government... but others showed him the door.

So, because someone wouldn't "conform" we show them the door.
How much better would our nation have been with Paul Hamon and his n00b friendly policy? How much better would our nation with Wingfield dropping some massive damage on the battlefield?
How much better would our nation be with a more active Miss Wolf or H.Nelson, who are just probably doing the minimum because they are sick of the s**t?
I just find it ironic that while these type of players just scale back or leave, the same clique of people are in power... maybe, just maybe they might wake up some day and say... sorry - don't like those chances.
I'll leave the last words to a post from Mr. Crocodile, who he himself did not confirm, made a mistake once and has been falsely branded by the others as a multier...
wingfield went to the USA. Congratulations! After the last elections rigged to exclude GGP of the top five, you did leave one of the veterans in Australia. Congratulations to all those people! Sucks!

It's a Paul Hamon situation all over again.
tl;dr
Paul i still in eAus dumbass, he spend six months cycling around some nation and only got back a week ago
And just to clarify... after one month of trying to be CP Whingefield took his ball and went home...
I shall shed a tear into my pillow tonight for our loss.
Yes, but prior to that Paul was not as active as in the past. This goes back sometime before you were eBorn Larni.
For example, his last newspaper article (which was regularly updated) was around 800 days ago... more than 2 years ago!
BOYCOTTED.
Brotip: http://flashback.org is a Swedish forum, with the largest section of the forum being the drug sub-forum. They discuss topics such as trip reports, the different types of drugs and how they're made, best consumed and tell their stories of what happened whilst using it.
The logo you are using in the article is the official logo of that very forum.
Are you endorsing drug consumption?
his paper was not regularly updated. Paul did all his magic in private messages to people not articles....
For the record, I quote the article that set off the ACP frenzy:
"This corrupt and spiteful government must go. We are tired of the coercion, tired of the trolling and tired of the endless roleplaying. These people play at being good little communists, while collectively insulting the millions of victims of communist mass murderers in the 20th century."
I sought respect for the victims but Tim_Holtz screams that I called the ACP mass murderers. Pity he can't or WON'T read properly.
I am very against trolling, but in this game there seems to be a fine line between trolling and criticising them. Although I did not see it all, I do not see how what happened to Wingfield was any worse than his personal message to players about the communist party which was deplorable IMO. I do not wish for any player (aside from eChilean and eHungary multi's) to leave Australia, but I also have no time for people who can't take it as good as they give it.
"We are tired"
I've never heard anyone else bitch about it.
The puerile ranting continues. Can't you children think of anything better than to make "smart" little wordplays of my character name? It tells everyone what you are like.
Now to another response: I DID NOT SEND PERSONAL MESSAGES TO ANYONE ABOUT THE COMMUNIST PARTY. Those came from someone else and, at the request of Arthur Cole, I phoned that other person and asked him to stop. Even your screenshots showed that they were not from me. All I said ever was what I quoted above.
So, after deliberately twsiting what I said, blaming me for another person's personal messages and then destroying a great party with the lowest possible gutter tactics, there is little more to do.
When it is better for my party to continue without me, that is my cue to go. To my true friends, my thanks and best wishes. To the rest of you, I shake the dust off my feet as I leave.
BOYCOTTED.
I am a strong opponent of the PTO practices of this country. Everyone deserves an equal chance. Multiers detection and regulation is for the admins to deal with. It is not the government or the Elite's role to be interfering with free and fair elections.
im not even going to waste my time with this
I still havent given up on this nation. Trust me i will throw, bite, scratch, eat whatever it is to change shit around. Most of you can b!tch and hate me, but that only means i'm doing something right. As far as calling wingfields party a PTO threat.....just wow.....This is what it comes too with the lies.
The shame part is people fall for it because they dont know any better.
Just watch the "older" players reject this article.....Typical behavior. Like i said before, your all quick to denie it and preserve your power threw your freinds or other means. How about giving solutions instead of criticizing others?
Wait wait wait, everyone hold up!
Wingfield left? Why isn't there more articles on this great news!
We are really united with fighting against Chile, but in politics we never united and we can't be
😁^
totally agree.
politics there are too many whiners & knockers. If they would just STFU & work for the good of Aus instead of posting whining articles & comments
The people that typed boycott are blind to the truth and it saddens me that they endorse the attitudes of the few that lie, cheat(yes some do cheat) and use emotional blackmail to get there way you are nothing short of cyberbullies. 50-70 people constantly vote against it, but because you are not the victims you do not see it, in fact you laugh it off as harmless fun. Not fun for the victim.
No SC. I am not buying into a propaganda article where there are bigger things at stake right now. I understand you feel there was interference. It had nothing to do with Wingfield, it had to do with GnG. I am not convinced that there was action taken in ignorance to redirect members, and I also don't like we had to interfere in PTO as a whole to get the right result.
In a perfect world admin would do their job, but the night before we could not count on this.
Wingfield was trolled because of the way he acted; he didn't act that way because he was trolled. Do I agree with him? On points, yes; but too have one less disruption out of eAustralia, it's worth seeing a high ranked player go. We do not need people slinging mud, and hopefully some of the shit fights will now die down.

"HOWEVER, there is one thing I will say... Infin, DocterDry....
DON'T MESS WITH THE MASTER OF THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN."
Crowded, aka Goose Step AKA Crumpet.
Indeed, you don't troll at all. Ironic, indeed.
Some ANPers have tended to specialise in alienation of others. Unfortunate but true.
About whingefield leaving: Good Riddance.
Venja is a wingfield supporter of course
Another active player run out of town by the establishment.
I will have to admit, Wingfield did keep us active and its a good thing.
I personally would of welcomed Wingfield with open arms into a cabinet position or something if he calmed down a bit and spent more time on IRC to communicate.
No SC, I am so fucking sick of the bickering from this nation. I have committed 1.5 billion damage for the nation this month. Probably put the whole population together and I would still have more.
This sort of shit articles is the reason why this nation fails, it puts our mind away from war.
so you are saying because you spent RL money and did 1.5 billion damage that its ok to turn a blind eye to cyberbullying and prop up a sytem that says its ok to use the ATO to single out and destroy a party at the whim of a few when the whole ATO was suppose to be a cry for unity by the sitting government and rubber stamped by it. OPEN YOUR EYES AND ASK WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE CONTINUING TO WRITE THESE ARTICLES look at the victims for once and stop supporting the corrupt system we have.
"This sort of shit articles is the reason why this nation fails, it puts our mind away from war."
I'm sorry scottty, but are you purposely trying to sound retarded lol?
I fail to see how 1 guy writing a crappy article that no one reads and people taking 1 minute to write comments on it puts our minds off the war. It's like "OMG PEOPLE TOOK 1 MINUTE TO WRITE A COMMENT! WE LOSE THE WAR!"
Don't be so dramatic. If you don't like the banter, don't open these articles and read.
I wish Wingfield didn't take thing that personally. You hate my policies = you think I suck, or something along those lines.
I always did love a good drama, anyhow just to put the icing on the cake i shall add my 2 cents.
1st of all who has the right to say "thats a crappy article/thats not"? What makes you so special to determine that? Some of you live in disillusionment.
See where i come from its you agree or disagree with the person.
'I have committed 1.5 billion damage for the nation this month.' Scottty, Surely your not arguing that because you did more damage than other your opinion matters more?
You're a member of the ACP and The Red Guard, you should be redistributing your wealth not arguing you're better than others. After all we are all equal.
From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.
There is a lot of sense in that saying Rincewind.
I would tend to support the view that scottty's opinion matters more than someone who puts a lot less effort into defending Aus.
